My presentation draws on my forthcoming book Exploded Views, which concerns a kind of process-oriented scholarly writing. “Exploded” writing refers to a digressive—even interruptive—documentary practice that accounts for t he sunken labor that constitutes the everyday elements of a scholarly or creative project. What might it mean, I ask, to emphasize rather than s mooth over the existence of this labor when writing about one’s research or research-creation? The descriptive term “exploded” alludes to explod ed-view diagrams, which demonstrate in two-dimensional form how a comple x, three-dimensional object is assembled. In the context of scholarly wr iting in the humanities, an “exploded” view of this kind might serve a s imilar function in documenting the hidden labors of a project, from intu ition to administration. I’m particularly interested in tracking the kin ds of labor that tend to be scarcely recognizable when a creation proces s succeeds. It’s when a project doesn’t fully work that the work becomes easier to recognize. Exploded Views thus proceeds from a series of open -ended projects, whether ongoing, abandoned, or otherwise gone awry.
